		The story is typical of King, about a nine-year old girl who gets lost in the woods of western Maine while on a day hike with her mother and brother.
		While Tom Gordon is a far cry from King's usual storytelling, it is still a delightful little book worth a quick read, and shows that King knows how to write more than just the average horror story.
		Tom Gordon is not King's best, but it's a nice book to read while we wait for King to finish up his superb Dark Tower epic.
